NEW LP
New sealed copy. Indie record store exclusive limited edition on cream coloured vinyl.
The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons is the sixth studio album by Swedish rock band The Hives, released on 11 August 2023 through the band's Disques Hives label. The album marks the first studio release in over 11 years, since 2012's Lex Hives, marking the longest gap between two Hives albums.
The album was recorded in a studio owned by ABBA member Benny Anderson in Stockholm. Announced on 2 May 2023, the day also saw the release of the first single "Bogus Operandi". The trademark "suave sound" fizzling with "wild energy" of the song was seen as setting the tone for the whole project. According to Rolling Stone, the album is a "a collection of 12 high-energy punk-ish songs reminiscent of their best work from the early 2000s". Lead singer Pelle Almqvist reflected on the intention of the record, saying, "Rock'n'roll can't grow up, it is a perpetual teenager and this album feels exactly like that".
